GRO Research Room revises its copy cert rules

Family historians may be in for a happy surprise when they next visit the General Register Office's Research Room in Werburgh Street, Dublin.

As of last week, the GRO has decided to increase the number of photocopies of certificates it will produce for those visiting researchers who have paid either the 'specific' or general search fee.

Instead of a maximum of five 'research copies' per day (€4 each), the researcher can now request a maximium of eight.

This isn't a set-in-stone revision. A member of staff told Irish Genealogy News they will operate the 8-copies 'rule' provided they can still deliver an efficient service. If they are too busy, the number you'll be able to get that day will be cut to five.

My new 82-page e-book published!

Welcome to Irish Genealogy News

Irish genealogy research is famous for being difficult, if not impossible. This reputation isn't entirely deserved, although there can be some fundamental difficulties in discovering your Irish ancestry, particularly if you don't know where your ancestors lived. That's why I launched my website, Irish Genealogy Toolkit. It's a free online guide to Irish family history research, and it's designed to helpyou to find your heritage.

This blog runs in parallel with the Toolkit and is not sponsored, aligned or connected with any commercial organisations. As its name suggests, it carries the latest Irish genealogy news and it's read by professional and amateur genealogists who recognise its independence and wide coverage of news.

Be sure to bookmark my blog's home page, and check in regularly to keep up to date with what's happening in the world of Irish family history.
